Just as ‘NCIS‘ and ‘Criminal Minds‘ did in 2009 and 2010, respectively, for their own off-shoots, ‘Army Wives’ this season will feature an episode that sets the table for the spin-off. That outing, set to air toward the end of Season 4, will find Pamela (played by original cast member Brigid Brannagh) returning to her former career by signing on as a detective with the Atlanta police department.

Union will in turn be introduced as her partner, Detective Gina Holt, says the Hollywood Reporter.

Should the “embedded spin-off” take hold, Brannagh and Union would move on to their own, yet-to-be-titled series.

Union is no stranger to laying down the law, having played a police officer on both NBC’s ‘Life’ and ABC’s ‘Night Stalker.’

What do you think, ‘Army Wives’ fans? Would you “salute” this potential spin-off?
